Security's the whore in me that never lets me fly

My Maserati does 185; Ilost my license and now I dont drive.

She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all the heads turned because she was the queen
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah
And she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame

On My Own ~Les Mis

All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

Rolling Stones

If I could win ya, if I could sing ya, a love song so divine,
Would it be enough for your cheatin' heart, If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it

 

[BotanyBoy]

Tastes like fruit when you hit it
Gotta have bread to get it
Smoke all night, sleep all day
That to me the American way
Roll that shit
light that shit
hit that shit
hold that shit
blow that shit out slow
and pass it to me bro...

 

[Equinoxe]

They're justified and they're ancient and they drive an ice cream van.

Blue Oyster Cult: Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

 

[BoyNextDoor]

She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the woman for they never can be easy

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Well, it's many a day I've traveled a hundred miles or more
But a hammer with a head like that I never saw before

 

[Hard_Rom]

We are just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.

Well I got some news for you, and you'll soon find out it's true.
then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself.

When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things...one part of me wants to take her out and treat her real nice...the other part of me wonders what her head would look like on a stick...

Always moving and going nowhere.

Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

December - Collective Soul

 

[lovetoread]

I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take

 

[Beco]

The sky grows dark
With fallen stars
Who'd come so far
A headstone engraved
The colors turn gray
The black and white fades

 

[Beco]

Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow?
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold...

Such is the passage of time
Too fast to fold
Suddenly swallowed by signs
Lo and behold
Gonna rise up
Find my direction magnetically
Gonna rise up
Throw down my ace in the hole

 

[Vanadorn]

He's got a .32 gun,
in his pocket full o' fun.
He's got a razor in his shoe.

"But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy "

 

[Beco]

How I choose to feel is how I am
How I choose to feel is how I am

I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today

Holding on, the light of the night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul

Again.

 

[Beco]

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere, and you know it's really hard to hold your breath

I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress

Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars

And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd, but when they said, "Pull down," I pulled up

Ooh... growin' up
